What Desires May Come

Promise after promise, they just keep coming.
Most of them loaded with lies...
Only the occasional one is ever fulfilled.
But do we complain?

The whisper of words that should have been held.
The mistake of voicing our fantasies.
Those of which change circumstances...
But do we regret?

We feel the one touch of warmth.
Feeling wrong, yet oh-so very comforting.
Darkness not quite equivalent to evil.
But do we understand?

A kiss in secret to douse the flame.
Desire and lust overpowering what's right.
Seeing only light of thirst and craving.
But do we act?
